Today I made a missing you card for OWH. The image is a print and cut from the Silhouette on line store. The sentiment is a stamp I purchased at Michael’s. l have several different missing you cards that I made and plan to include in my box of cards to OWH. This card is a combination of Cameo and Cricut cuts. I used my Cameo for the print and cut and my Cricut Expression and Elegant Edges for the mat.

Here is another birthday card I made for the OWH birthday challenge. I find male themed cards very hard to make. I think this one works great for a male birthday card. I used my silhouetteand the print and cut feature to create the car card. I purchased the car shape card from silhouette online store. If you haven’t tried the cut and print feature, I highly recommend giving it a go. There are a lot of videos on you tube that explain how it works. It really is very easy. The stamps for my card are from Close to My Heart. I paper pieced them on the card. I really like the way the card came out and plan on making one for my brother-in-law with his name on the license plate instead of USA.

Hi,
I hope everyone is having a great week. It is hard to believe October is almost over.

This week OWH has challenged us to make friendship cards for our troops to send home.

I made this card using the Country Life Cricut cartridge. I cut the little pig and hen at 4 inches. I added liquid pearls to the pig , hen and sun for dimension. I also used glossy accents. The paper for the background is from the cricut celebrations paper pack. The ticket stamp is a Close to My Heart stamp and the little tag and sentiment is from teeny tag sentiments by My Creative Time. The finished card measures 5.50 by 4.25.

Hi,
I made this trifold card for Operation Write Home. It is a trifold card. I also used
my cricut cartridge Tags, Bags, Boxes and more 2, to make the little envelope inside so I could include note paper. The paper is from Recollections, the owl is a sticker I got a Walmart.

This week at Operation Write Home there is a color challenge using Red & Green! We’re to make cards using the colors Red & Green for our heroes to send home to their family and friends! I used Cricut Snow Friends cartridge to make my snowman cut at 3 inches. I added a little stickles to the snowflake on his shirt to give it a little shimmer. The paper was from a holiday pack I got last year.

I am submitting this card in the Peachy Keen Stamps challenge 34 color inspiration. The little gnomes are one of their mini stamps. I colored them with Tombow dual brush pens and added a little stickles to give the card a little glimmer.

Operation Write Home’s VCMP‘s next challenge is to make a card with a snowflake theme but not Christmas. This theme was selected by Cindy’s Card Co blog. I used my cricut and paper from my stash to make this card. I hope you enjoy it!! Fun thinking of snow when the air conditioning is on. LOL

I made this card for Operation Write Home’s Labor Day hop. ODBD is sponsoring our first challenge. We were to make a card with an encouraging sentiment. I love making cards for OWH and encourage you to join us in this very rewarding endeavor. Helping our troops stay in touch with their love ones is one way of saying thankyou for all they do.

For this card I used the Martha Stwewart butterfly stamp. The sentiment is an Inkadinkado stamp. I love this sentiment.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Labor Day weekend. Enjoy the three days off. I know I am.
